  event

• Seem to occur throughout lifetime, beginning in
  childhood
• Different views Abductee vs Experiencer vs
  Contactee
• Mixed bag Some good, some bad - seems to
  transcend this measure

24
What to do?

• Sighting? - Observe as closely as possible -
  Don't panic - Tell someone you trust
• Close Encounter - Try to remember as much as
  possible - As soon as aware, write down as much
  as possible - Tell someone you can trust - Get
  help if necessary as appropriate for you...

25
What is the Phenomenon? (Some Possible
Paradigms)

• Physical (nuts and bolts) reality of ET
  visitation
• Psychological A neurological/perceptual
  artifact
• Religious Fulfillment of religious prophecy,
  etc...
• (many theories)
• Spiritual/Metaphysical paradigm
• (Jungian or transpersonal psychology)
• Many more theories out there
• CL guess Truth is probably beyond any present
  theories

26
How can we deal with the phenomenon?

• Listen/understand/heal the "shattered reality" of
  the experiencer
• Establish scientific reality of the phenomenon
• Treat phenomenon with Wonder/Discernment/Caution
  - we don't know what it is...
• Understand and manage its impact in our society
• Each experiencer has to "heal their own shattered
  reality"

27
Healing a Shattered Reality

• Reducing the Fear Factor
• Resolving paradox and Illusion
• Too good to be true?
• Note Only where appropriate for the client
  (!!!!!)
• Goal is to understand the experience in a way
  that empowers the experiencer
• Seeking the truth (whatever that may be)
• May not be what any of us think
• May be prosaic, or it may be more far out
• Need discernment, empathy
• Integrating the experience into world view

28
Conclusion

• The UFO/CE4 phenomenon exists It is a real
  event in the world of the experiencer.
• There is no well-defined explanation for close
  encounters
• A paradox The more we learn, the less we know.
• Each must come to terms with phenomenon in their
  own way.
